Default Helmets with integrated earphones (other than Stilo)

Anyone have experience with any other helmets that have integrated ear speakers and noise canceling ear muffs like Stilo's? Look'n to see what other options are out there.

I bought an HJC SI 12 R from Wine Country Motorsports last year . Came fully set up w mic & ear cups w speakers.
Have been very happy with the sound quality & noise cancelling

Default Helmets with integrated speakers

The new Roux line is starting to come in with most models available by December.

All models include electronics and hydration.

Bell and Zamp offer some of their models with noise attenuating ear muffs but you would have to get a racing radio company to wire up the muffs separately.

The Bell Sport MAG 1 Rally comes setup with wired muffs.

Our whole team loves the Stilo's. Integrate perfectly with the radio system and sound is amazing. Noise canceling works very well. Can't go wrong...

I also have a HJC Si-12R (has to be the "R" model to work). I bought "ear cups with speakers" from PCI Race Radios (https://www.pciraceradios.com/produc...ant=7851116037) and combined it with a helmet kit mike. The ear cups are a bit tight when putting the helmet on, but once you get used them, they work very well. I like the fact that you can remove the interior of this helmet and run it through the washer.

I have a Black Armour. Fit is similar to my previous Bell. Got mine before the integrated audio and drink, but I like it.

I thought the Stilo setup was just really well positioned and designed mic/earmuffs that avoid noise leaking in. I didn't think it was powered such that it can do noise canceling. I thought you needed something like the DG10 or DG30 amp to get a real noise rejection filter.

Simpson will kit out their helmets with gel muffs and headsets from the factory and have removable liners BTW.

You are correct. Sorry, they call them "noise attenuating" earmuffs. Not truly noise cancelling. But they work damn well.
